All I know about CL drivers is the second set released messed up my headphone mode autoswitching and broke 7.1 (mixed the two side speakers as one)

I'd be careful about using them unless you just want to uninstall and reinstall all you x-fi stuff later on, which is what I had to do.
 
I installed them last night, downloaded from Guru3d.com. So far no issues, it does reset a lot of your configurations. However, I cant tell a difference between old and new.
 
According to CL Cathrina, if all goes well a new set of official drivers due by end of March. Unless you just gotta try em I'd really recommend waiting on the released set.
 
No final 2.09 releases yet....anybody see any benefits with the betas?

If you're not having any problems I would highly recommend not upgrading. I made the mistake once, and it toasted my Remote Control settings and I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to fix it. Eventually I just went back and reinstalled all of the original drivers from the X-Fi installation CD.

Best Case Scenario (If you upgrade): Nothing Changes.

Worst Case: The update breaks all of your settings and random things stop working.

Granted, the first is much more likely but unless someone can name a benefit of upgrading I don't see any reason to.
